Dimensions:

Length: 100 mm (4.3 inches)

Diameter: 21.26 mm

Ring gauge: 54

Shape: Petit Robusto/Torres

Appearance:

The cigar is looking beautiful and tightly rolled. The veins are virtually invisible, the seams are very tight, and the double cap is large and turned elegantly into the typical Trinidad pig-tail. The cigar feels good in hand, it seems well packed. The wrapper has a nice medium brown, Colorado claro, with some darker shade, almost like a Colorado Maduro. The wrapper is smooth to the touch, not very oily but it looks impeccable.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

At cold, the wrapper smells of faint tobacco. Once cut, the draw is good, not too easy, with just the right amount of resistance. The pre-light draw gives some flavors of earth, of fresh grass and of roasted nuts.

Burn/ Draw

Upon lighting the cigar, the cigar lights up easily and starts with some smooth notes, no harshness whatsoever. The first few draws offer typical Trinidad flavors, some roasted nuts, earth, with some spicy notes of cloves. The burn line is good, a bit wavy at times, maybe because of the cigar’s young age, but it doesn’t require any touch-ups. Throughout the whole smoke the cigar generates tons of nice and thick smoke.

Initial third:

The first third of the cigar is well balanced and beautiful. Woodsy flavors are dominant along with some sweet spices notes of cinnamon. The notes of roasted nuts give the Trinidad Vigia some flavors reminiscent of a mocha, with very round flavors. Overall, the cigar is at a mild-medium body, and has some delicious creaminess to it.

Middle third:

In the middle third, the body of the cigar increases in strength and it is now a medium body. The flavor profile is similar to the one offered in the first third, starting with some dry woodsy notes, then evolving towards some wet wood. The earthy notes are becoming more intense, along with some stronger flavors of spices, pepper, black coffee and a bit of bitter tobacco. The roasted hazelnuts are still around, along with some rich flavors that are almost like a cake. The hints of grassiness along with the kick from the cinnamon/cloves make this cigar a pretty complex and round smoke.

Final third:

In the final third, the body increases again in intensity, the smoke is powerful and dominant flavors are of earth and of spices. There is also some sweetness that joins the mix and the nuttiness remains. It is enjoyable until the nub.

In summary, the Trinidad Vigia is a great spicy medium-full smoke that has great potential for aging.

Smoking time:

1 hour 15 minutes

Wonderful smoke

Creamy bomb with excellent woody and nutty flavors. This is soft and supple and I'll definitely be ordering more!

Not disappointed!

This cigar has all the Trinidad characteristics and will only get better with age. Lots of light coffee and cocoa notes with very little spice (white pepper) notes. It also feels good in the hand too!

One of my favorites

Incredible construction. Great draw. The flavor is like no other. Creamy, complex, becomes stronger through the smoke. Great 54 ring gauge allows for a lot of smoke and flavor. Perfect for a 45-60 smoke.
Will get only better with some aging.

Classic cuban cigar
, 4/15/2018By Edward

Just got my box of 12 in last week. Gave them a chance to recover from the trip and fired one up today. While this box was a September 2017 vintage it smoked well with only a little bitterness at the end. It lasted all of 1 hour and was very tasty. Good volume of smoke, excellent construction, and an even burn. This cigar will benefit from a couple of years in the humidor. I smoked a 3 year old at new Years and it was a completely different smoke. Trinidad is a great cigar in the traditional Cuban format. I highly recommend!
